After Surgery

You can expect to spend approximately 30 to 90 minutes in the post-anesthesia care unit, depending upon the type of anesthesia you receive.

The nurses in this area will give you instructions for taking care of yourself at home. Should problems or questions arise when you are recovering at home, call your surgeon at the number provided in your discharge instructions.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

If an emergency arises after normal business hours, please call your surgeon or go directly to your local emergency room. Ask emergency room personnel to contact your surgeon.
